Driver saves 40 students after school bus catches fire (video)
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A school bus driver in Florida is getting credit for saving 40 young students after their bus caught fire on Tuesday.
Imagine Schools at West Melbourne said things could have been a lot worse if not for the driver’s quick actions.Imagine Schools said the driver, Janet O’Connell, saw the smoke coming from the hood just 10 minutes along her route after the school’s dismissal, when she stopped and started getting 40 children from kindergarten to the 6th grade off the bus.Degonzague said he believes it was an electrical fire.
Imagine is a charter school managing its own buses. Degonzague said the buses are inspected as often as every day.The school said the fire destroyed the camera on the bus, so there’s no video showing how it started.“Ms. Janet is a very humble person,” Degonzague said. “When I spoke to her about it, she said, ‘Brian, I did what I did because I love my kids.’ She doesn’t want the spotlight on her, but what she did was pretty incredible.
The school said O’Connell didn’t even take a day off after the fire. She was right back to work Wednesday, driving a new bus.
